Episode notes

The key to thriving lies in the ability to change. Just like a brittle old tree branch that breaks off under the weight of snow, things that can't change are what ultimately die. The Fourth Way shares similarities with concepts like pragmatism by William James, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and flexibility, akin to the young saplings that bend under the weight of snow but bounce back. Gurdjieff's concept of 'wu-wei' or action within an action resonates with the idea of creating conditions for change rather than trying to force outcomes. This parallels the chaos theory where the smallest initial conditions can lead to significant changes over time, highlighting the importance of creating the right conditions for growth and transformation from within.

The Fourth Way is a pseudonymously run Youtube channel and Twitter page dedicated to the path of psychological and spiritual growth and self-improvement. Built around the philosophy of two thinkers - George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky - the ultimate aim of the Fourth Way is “to assist individuals in achieving a higher state of consciousness and self-awareness which can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.”

Tune in to this week’s episode to learn about the four ways of being; how to befriend your centers; the keys to the universe; and MUCH more!
